I'm Listening To

KathleenSupove

Brooklyn, NY

What I do is turn audiences (new and familiar) on to NEW MUSIC by composers who are active, recent, daring, and exciting. Through my enterprise, Exploding Piano, I have premiered at least 150 composers’ works for piano. I perform in all kinds of venues from concert halls (including all 3 major halls at Carnegie) to theater spaces (Flea Theater, New Victory), to alt lofts and clubs (I was one of the first artists to perform at Le Poisson Rouge). I have also been in residence at a number of colleges, festivals and universities, including New College/Sarasota, Florida International U., U. of Miami, June in Buffalo, and Chautauqua. I have also performed with robots (LEMUR) and laptops (SIDEBAND).

In May, 2012, I received the John Cage Award from ASCAP for ““the artistry and passion with which she performs, commissions, records, and champions the music of our time.”

My most recent solo CDs: THE DEBUSSY EFFECT on New Focus Recordings

Here is a recent review (2/2014) from The Boston Globe, Jeffrey Gantz critic:

I have also created several concert theater presentations through the downtown theater space, The Flea Theater, including: JITTERS, AIR RIGHTS, and KATHLEEN SUPOVE’ and THE ELECTRIC SHEEP, as well as DIGITAL DEBUSSY.

This is what bloggers have written about my recent DIGITAL DEBUSSY project:

“The best pianist living in New York you probably never heard of is Kathy Supové…” ARTHUR KAYE, blogspot http://kayester.blogspot.com/2013/05/kathy-supove-at-flea-theater-4262013.html

“At The Block, Saturday, October 19, 2013, The Steinway Piano survived the performance by Pianist Kathleen Supové, Muskegon, Michigan. Supové demonstrated that exploding a piano doesn’t require blowing off the cover or busting up the keyboard. In fact, she coaxed music from the piano, while spirited, that stuck meditative chords in the audience. We were enchanted by Shattered Renditions of the Western Wind, hypnotized in the way classic Electronica casts a spell.” http://artwalkarttalk.blogspot.com/2013/10/at-block-saturday-october-19-2013.html
